The Pentagon's Inspector General's Office has confirmed to ABC News that it is investigating allegations that U.S. Central Command's intelligence assessments of the progress of the war on ISIS was distorted to provide a more optimistic picture.
Bridget Serchak, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense's Inspector General, said in a statement.
"As has been previously reported, the Office of Inspector General Department of Defense has opened an investigation to address recent allegations concerning the processing of intelligence information by CENTCOM Intelligence Directorate."
"The investigation will address whether there was any falsification, distortion, delay, suppression, or improper modification of intelligence information; any deviations from appropriate process, procedures, or internal controls regarding the intelligence analysis; and personal accountability for any misconduct or failure to follow established processes."

(60,364 posts)We are almost halfway thru a 30-year war.
The cost of these invasions and occupations was put on the National Credit Card. The National Debt now stands around $18.1 trillion dollars which is easier to understand if you put in the zeros --> $18,100,000,000,000.
In the meantime our National Infrastructure is falling around our feet:
* our road systems suck.
* our water systems suck.
* our damns across the country are failing.
* our electrical power distribution sucks.
Why wouldn't the military lie? They get paid to do this stuff.
